A lovely spot of tea

[ellen_datlow]

A friend and I discovered a lovely place to have tea in the east village: Podunk, which is much nicer than its name. At 2:45 it was empty so I had time to read a few pages of Simmons' The Terror while waiting. I had a pot of lady grey tea and a high tea (it wasn't called that) with cucumber sandwiches (no crusts of course), cookies, scones and jam and cream, plus some cake (I brought home the cake bits and cookies). I gather it was packed a few hours earlier and it started filling up again by the time we left at 4:30. Definitely worth another visit.

Thanks for the tip. Have you ever been to "Sympathy for the Kettle" on St. Marks? The teas (and the sweets) are great, but the place can fill up quick.

No, but I'll have to check it out another time. Thanks for the rec.
